Honam University Accelerates Improvement of Online Teaching Skills

3rd Workshop Held... Focus on Improving 'Real-Time Live Lecture Skills'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Honam University (President Park Sangcheol) is extending the first semester online (non-face-to-face) classes until the 10th of next month due to the prolonged spread of COVID-19, and is accelerating efforts to improve the quality of online lectures.

According to Honam University on the 23rd, comprehensive support combining software and hardware is being provided, including step-by-step workshops for instructors and various equipment supplies for non-face-to-face classes.

To this end, the Honam University Center for Teaching and Learning Development held an "Online Workshop for Non-Face-to-Face Class Operation" from 4 p.m. today, featuring Director Jang Yoonkyung of the Center for Teaching and Learning Development, Director Lee Munyeong of the Center for Non-Curricular Integration Support, EduTech Specialist Lim Kyungyeol, and Professor Kim Gimyeong of the Department of Food and Nutrition.

This is the third workshop following the first (12th) and second (19th) workshops, which focused on enhancing capabilities in lecture video production and real-time video conferencing lectures.

The workshop introduced the platform "Streamyard," which combines the advantages of YouTube live streaming and real-time video lecture operation, emphasizing the improvement of "real-time live lecture skills" that allow instructors to design lectures themselves and communicate with students for practical use.

Before the start of online lectures, Honam University has been devoting great effort to improving lecture quality and increasing class satisfaction through multifaceted support measures such as developing and distributing production manuals for faculty and staff during the vacation, sharing operation tip materials via Wisehub, providing webcams and tablet pens (digitizers) at the department level, and offering licenses for video lecture production tools.

Director Jang Yoonkyung of the Center for Teaching and Learning Development said, "Not only is there a possibility that the first semester online (non-face-to-face) classes will be extended further, but we also deeply feel the need to qualitatively improve online classes due to the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, we are putting all our efforts into enhancing online lecture skills. We will strive to create an environment where instructors can configure high-quality non-face-to-face classes tailored to the characteristics of their subjects and develop the ability to apply customized classes."
